Delfinario
 

Description

The dolphin pool is one of the main attractions offered in this park and one of the most popular ones with kids. Eight trained dolphins—five of which were born here—and professional trainers offer entertaining performances. There are three shows a day, which include ball tossing, hoop jumping, leaps and acrobatics, performed on two specially-designed platforms. Soft drinks, ice cream and other snacks are available for kids at the snackbar and shop. Visitors can also rent horses to ride in the area.

WRONG DVD
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/5/11
I loved swimming with the Dolphins. I ordered a DVD and when I returned home realized it was the wrong DVD from the first group of 9:30 instead of the DVD from my, the second group of 9:30. If you swam with the Dolphins August 30 at 9:30am, let me know!

WRONG DVD received
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/8/11
My wife en I loved swimming with the Dolphins. We ordered a DVD and when we returned home realized it was the wrong DVD from the group of 9:30 instead of the DVD from our group of 11:30. If you swam with the Dolphins August 4 at 9:30am, and have received the DVD of August 4 at 11:30 email me at m.bloks@freeler.nl. Was fun but wished I could see the DVD of our group.

Awesome!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/13/11
Swimming with the dolphins was the best thing I have ever done! We got to go so many things with them including flying through the air while standing on their noses. The show was awesome and I thought it was a lot better enclosure for them than the tanks they have at places like marine land. I would do it again, it was worse every single penny. The doplhins were really playful and kept wanting me to throw and leaf for them. They got lots of treats and I felt like they were well taken care of. The water is like swimming in a pond...I wouldnt swallow it, but it wasnt that bad. I loved it and love the picture I bought! Kara

I absolutely loved it! This was my 2nd time swimming with dolphins and was way better than the 1st! They are amazing creatures and if you get the opportunity, don't miss it! I highly recommend it.

Loved the Dolphins!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/26/08
I love dolphins but the water wasn't very clean...it was murky. It didn't feel like we had enough time with the dolphins in the water. But we still had a good time with them.

Definitely worth visiting when in Varadero!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/10/07
I just returned to Canada after a week in Varadero, Cuba. I was there with a few family members and friends to attend my sister's wedding, so our main focus was not sight-seeing and exploring Cuba. We, did, however, go to the dolphinarium one morning since my sister had promised her young daughter that we would. It was an unforgettable experience for me, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip (wedding notwithstanding)! The show itself wasn't spectacular but, as we came to find out when enquiring about the dolphins post-show with the trainers, two of the dolphins were rather out of sorts and less cooperative than usual, one having recently given birth and another being far along in her pregnancy. The trainers were extremely gracious about answering our many questions about the dolphins and the dolphinarium. I was completely caught by surprise when one of the trainers, sensing my keen interest, offered to take me over to the dolphins to get a kiss from them. It was an incredible experience to be so close to these intelligent, sensitive creatures and to have a chance to touch them and see them firsthand!! It has been days since our visit to the dolphinarium and we are all still talking about it! Those who dislike the idea of animals being kept in captivity to entertain and amuse us humans will be somewhat mollified to hear that the dolphinarium in Varadero is a large outdoor enclosure, very close to the sea, surrounded by lots of natural vegetation. I would certainly recommend a visit to the dolphinarium while in the Varadero area!

Amazing!
By heather, 6/27/05
I had such a great time there. I was a little nervous about the jellyfish and other fish in the water, but they didn't bite. Being around the dolphins was such an amazing experience. They are such gentle loving animals and so smart. They come up and kiss you and pull you through the water. they even jump over you if you lay back. It was a bit expensive, but worth it just to have been with the dolphins. They take your picture when you are in the water which cost $10.00 US. But its a nice keepsake. There is also a show to watch after the swim. We were there for about an hour and I think it cost around $70.00 US each. Like I said a little pricy but worth it. Have fun!
